Well, I’m back online after a 4 hour blackout due to the heat in Brooklyn.
I found out that my ISP Optimum had issues with their equipment in Brooklyn due to the heat and humidity set on by this week’s weather.
Now I’m worried that things will be really harsh on my equipment in the living room.
Any suggestions on how to keep the modem/router from overheating and causing problems?
I would expect black-out curtains to make the room hotter. Black absorbs the full spectrum of sunlight shining in and and the material heats up. I would think white curtains would reflect the visible light back out through the window and keep the room cooler.

Black out curtains are not always black. I have black out curtains that are backed white.
TIL. The ones I’ve seen were all black.
My first set I made myself. The “blackout” backing was white. The curtains themselves were blue with horses I think (I was like 8). I later used the backing with some Star Wars sheets to make new curtains.
Black-out typically means it just doesn’t let any light into the room, not necessarily the actual color of the curtain
